Ohio Valley Creative Energy (Founding artist and Board member), a group of artists that has worked for 5 years to initiate the construction of a fire Arts studio next to the Floyd Clark County landfill. We are very excited as plans are unfolding quickly after a long, long lull in our project. With help from the landfill copany, we expect to acquire 7 acres of land adjacent to the landfill this year, then will install a pipeline across the street, for a methane-fueled ceramics studio.

Open Doors Program, Louisville Visual Art Association (former Program Manager) - "classes and art enrichment experiences designed to give a voice to under-served populations... projects are designed to pair local professional artists with groups who have limited access to the visual arts... tailored to meet specific needs of each population and serve to enrich not only the individual participant, but the community as a whole." Opens Doors Program

I am also in talks and design stages for a bike rack to memorialize our friend Jen Futrell, who was killed while riding her bicycle down Bardstown Road in September of 2008. Jen loved to spray her love bomb stencil around the neighborhood, so her iconic image was worked into the design. Waiting for approval to place it on Bardstown Road... or maybe we'll just place it outside the Mammoth. Jen Futrell Memorial Page
